Join Dr. Christian Thompson as he leads an informative, hands-on workshop using the TRX Suspension Training System. Learn about proven strategies to introduce clients to the TRX and practice exercises that were part of an 8-week research study that got novice older exercisers using the TRX successfully. Information on safety, cueing, and progression/regression strategies will be emphasized. Leigh Crews, a Sr. Master Trainer from TRX Training, will lead exercise demonstrations and provide attendees an opportunity to experience the TRX themselves. Session Objectives - At the end of the workshop, attendees will be able to: 1.
Overcome client fears and other barriers to adoption of the TRX.
2.
Develop a research-proven falls prevention exercise program using the TRX.
3.
Demonstrate, cue, and correct at least one TRX exercise each for joint mobility, strength, dynamic balance, and gait enhancement.
